Café Parisien was an entirely new luxury innovation aboard the Titanic. The large picture windows gave diners a view of the sea while dining, something that had never before been done on a British ship.

The cafe, serving only the best of food, captured the style and atmosphere of a sidewalk cafe in Paris. Literature for the ocean liner described it as a ‘charming sun-lit veranda, tastefully decorated in French trellis-work with ivy and other creeping plants’.
